The Eiffel Tower trick looks like this. It's got 2 bottom legs and it's one post staying straight up. To do this start with a dead yo-yo. It's going to give you a lot more time to work with it while you're doing the trick. Drop it straight down. Now you need to take your throw hand and make an L with it and then bring it across the string. Now take your non-throw hand and grab the string that's is between your thumb and your middle finger and pull it. Then put your non-throw hand all the way through that loop that you just created and grab that one string hanging down from your thumb. Grab it and pull it through that loop. Now you have one hand holding on to the one string that you just pulled through, and your thumb is still in this loop on your throwing hand. That's important. Keep that L with your throw hand just like that. Your thumb is the pivot point, take it and point it straight down like. Then use your scissor fingers, your pointer middle finger, and you pinch the string and that will give you your shape. Usually when you display it, you just take both hands and turn it sideways to display. That's your Eiffel Tower just like so. Once again, sling shot, pull through, grab that string, twist your throw hand down, pinch, and display. Once you have it down you can put the sleeper into it instead of doing it with a dead yo-yo. |
